Abstract

Caustic Injection is a high-risk chemical process utilized in many refineries across the world to control overhead corrosion in the atmospheric distillation column of the Crude Distillation Unit. This thesis discusses the considerations that need to be accounted for in the design of a caustic injection system, as well as my own work at an internship where I was a member of a design team that worked to design a caustic injection system for a nearby refinery.
